Phone call saves toddler
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A toddler's life was saved when an ambulance controller gave her father emergency lessons over the telephone in how to give the kiss of life.
Arshad Mahmood from Crumpsall, Greater Manchester, called the emergency service when his one-year-old daughter Anisha stopped breathing.
During the six-minute emergency call Anisha stopped breathing three times, but each time the contoller, Scott Lacey, instructed her father in how to breath air back into her lungs.
Mr Mahmood, 40, and his wife Tahira, 32, said: "We can't thank everyone enough. We really thought we'd lost her."
